Understanding how to play against this popular champion becomes essential for consistent Sona performance in the current patch. Identical tiers, different outcomes: Despite matching S-tier ratings, Sona struggles with only 45.5% win rate. Soraka's mechanics prove more effective in this particular confrontation. Strong champion, tough matchup: Despite Sona's impressive 52.7% overall win rate, this specific matchup against Soraka presents unique challenges requiring focused practice. Every edge matters: In this tough matchup, the proven Summon Aery + Manaflow Band combination (54.3% win rate) plus optimal itemization Echoes of Helia, Moonstone Renewer, Dawncore, and Ionian Boots of Lucidity boosts your chances from 45.5% to 72.1% - potentially game-changing.
Vision advantage: Despite losing the direct matchup, Sona's superior warding (0.95 wards/min, 16th among supports) can swing team fights and objectives in your favor. Damage doesn't equal wins: Sona outputs more damage (373 vs 197/min, 2nd place) but still loses the matchup. The issue likely lies in survivability, mobility, or damage timing rather than raw output.

Difficult matchup requiring deep understanding of game mechanics and flawless execution. Patience and proper macro play are the keys to victory in this confrontation.
The magic damage that Sona deals remains relevant in the late game. Look for opportunities to initiate or counter-initiate. Meanwhile, Soraka deals primarily magic damage (80.61%), additional magic resistance may be required.
An important advantage of Sona is superior vision control (ranked 16th among supports) (versus 38th for Soraka), which provides better map control and safety for the team in important map areas. Meanwhile, their lower KDA (2.9 versus 3.1) suggests they are less effective in team fights.
In this difficult confrontation, it is critically important for the Sona player to avoid attempts to force trades and all-ins with the Soraka player, as the matchup requires a patient and calculated approach. Extended trades without clear tactical advantage often lead to unfavorable consequences, and ignoring opportunities to receive team support can be a fatal mistake for game progression.
